No organisation has been untouched by the impact of the coronavirus. While some organisations are fighting for survival, others are beginning to look beyond the near term to a future that is more uncertain than ever before. Redundancies and pay cuts are widespread, and government stimuli are propping up economies like never before.

Melbourne Business School’s “Talking Business During Crisis” webinar series will explore evidence-based perspectives on how to navigate crises and real examples of how organisations around the world are responding.
